A^{\dag} got error "Missing $ inserted"

Is there a way to use superscripts not in mathematical formulas?

  • Welcome to TeX,SE. If A is (math) variable, than had to be in math environment. In your case in text as $A^{\dag}$ in display math for example as \begin{equation} A^{\dag} ...\end{equation}. Strictly use LaTeX syntax for in-line math expression you should write \(A^{\dag}\) – Zarko Oct 17 '22 at 05:16
  • If my A is not a mathematical variable, I don't want to put it in $$. For example, I want apple^{\dag}. @Zarko – Rui Fang Oct 17 '22 at 05:22

You can use \textsuperscript, e.g. A\textsuperscript{\dag}, in either math or text mode.
